If I had to date someone, it would be someone like this.

If he did she would be like "curse this sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

Then hire an Etsy witch to cast a curse on him.

Edit: I got the firefly reference after making this comment. I should have came up with a better response. Rather than delete it I'll leave my shame for all to see. Browncoats forgive me.

Send those toys into the Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong YouTube channel. That T-Rex anatomy is decades out of date.

[–] kichae@wanderingadventure.party 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

etterra@discuss.online Sure, but it's a really pretty blue colour.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 2 days ago

I can't argue with that.

Good test tbh. If you don't fuck with her dinosaurs, you don't fuck with her.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My question is why did they do quotes around dinosaurs, do they not believe in dinosaurs or some shit?

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 days ago

Triceratops is a solid choice, green light.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

I mean I have them with me… you’re telling me you don’t want to see them?

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 15 points 3 days ago

I'm with [censored name] on this one. Don't you dare to screw her over.

My weird and sometimes very specific interests are a packaged deal. If you can't handle them, then you can't handle me.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m sorry but they T.Rex is not accurate, it should be chubbier and with lips.

[–] uzziah0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Dino socks. Dinos on the cuff, but on the inside so I can look at them whenever I want.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

My hockey stick is ready. we are watching.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 2 days ago

So on one hand, those are like the least original dinosaurs one could own, but on the other hand they seem to be high quality... So test is inconclusive imho

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

They thought it was a euphomism?
